From the Great Hall (Image), the spiral staircase gives access to the Lord's Bedchamber (Image). Beside the same staircase are the remains of a medieval latrine, and a blocked door to the (now largely demolished) south-eastern tower (see Image, where the remains of that tower are on the left). Further up, the staircase is blocked, but it would have given access to the uppermost rooms in the north-eastern tower (i.e., the two storeys of rooms directly above the Lord's Bedchamber). Those rooms are now reached, instead, by sets of modern metal rungs.
